Apologies if I'm hitting n00b territory here, but can anyone please let me know or point me to a page/thread detailing what's possible unlock-wise with the UK iPhone? i.e. is it possible to downgrade the FW as with the US handset or is it better to sit tight and wait for a better alternative. I'm just about to head out and pick one up and I can't see much mention on here of what the procedure is for UK phones.

Thanks!

Currently,

You will be able to downgrade the UK iPhone to work as an iPOD Touch, that is all at the moment.

The baseband cannot be downgraded as the bootloader on the UK and German iPhones is new and none of the existing tools will work with it.

OK, cheers buddy.

Is that the 1.1.2 to 1.1.1 downgrade as detailed in this thread?

Hello, first post on these forums

I have a UK iPhone too that I bought yesterday and I am currently waiting for a confirmed solid way of activating and unlocking it.

Any idea when this should come? I have been reading a lot about jailbreaking and trying to pick up all the terms and everything so I am still new.

Francis,

Finally got it done using the guide on the following thread - I also added a few ammendments to the bottom:

It's pretty straightforward actually.

Good luck

There's no need as there's no difference. The guide in the link I posted up there, coupled with the right 1.1.1 FW is spot on.

I hope you dont mind me asking questions on how to do it but I just want to be sure I am doing it right since this the the first time I have even looked at hacking iphones.

Ok so from what i have read this is what i understand I have to do:
1. Plug in iphone to mac, get it into recovery mode and download the 1.1.1 fw
2. restore the iphone to the 1.1.1 fw
3. go to jailbreakme.com and install the jailbreaker

Now i'm lost
